Tofo Beach, Mozambique

By Andre Crone (Adapted from "passport to diving the world")

Well Known For :

A magical place for divers.

Waking up to our last day of diving in Tofo Beach we almost have to pinch ourselves. It's another beautiful sunrise over the Indian Ocean, with the sound of the waves gently breaking on the beach in front of our chalet. Yes, we'd heard the stories, seen the photos, and watched the DVDs, but until you dive this magical place you won't believe it exists. But here we ere: One week of diving behind us and already we'd enjoyed close encounters with more than 70 manta rays and 12 whale sharks! That's not all. During breaks from the big stuff we found colourful nudibranchs, scorpionfish, frogfish, and the bizarre (but entirely believable) looking pineconefish.

(Ok enough with the stories, I'm itchin' for a dive)
